Colorado State freshman basketball forward Xavier Kilby, a 21-year-old from Phoenix, was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor prohibited use of weapons, Fort Collins police Lt. John Pino said.

At about 3 a.m., Ronnie Aguilar, 19, and Kilby got into an argument at Kilby’s apartment, Pino said.

Pino said Kilby pulled out a small revolver and aimed it at Aguilar’s head before firing a shot into a living room couch.

Aguilar then left the apartment and called police from his home, he said. Officers arrested Kilby at his apartment without incident.

Three other people were in the apartment at the time of the incident, but no one was injured, Pino said.

Kilby wasn’t expected to rejoin the Rams. He was suspended for two games during the first semester for academic reasons, and new coach Tim Miles had been noncommittal about his situation before Kilby’s recent arrest.

“Our expectations for the student-athletes in our program is that they are commendable citizens who are held in high regard. His type of behavior is neither acceptable nor tolerable. He will not be allowed to be a part of any team activities until further notice,” Miles said Monday in a department release.

The arrest came less than a week after unprecedented national sensitivity about guns on campus in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings.

Kilby became a fan favorite late in the season as his playing time off the bench increased and he combed out his braids into an Afro. It inspired the season-finale wig giveaway that produced a rare full house in Moby Arena.

The 6-foot-8 forward with outstanding leaping ability was the second or third player off the bench, averaging 13.2 minutes, 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds. He also blocked six shots.

Aguilar, a 7-foot, 250-pound center, played in 11 games last season, averaging 0.2 points and 0.3 rebounds.
